PLANK,
JamesWilfred
Heard his name on February 29, 2008. His release from earthly
pain was welcome and well prepared as his loved ones were gifted
with time to acknowledge and share their love and admiration
for this first-class man - a gentleman and a scholar, Jim modeled
a life of strong Christian values, solid family ideals, and a
deep work ethic. His joy was found in his love of the Lord, his
lifelong sweetheart, his family, great literature, and fine works
of music. Jim had the ability to inspire those around him to
rise to greater heights morally, intellectually and spiritually,
challenging us all to follow our own paths. His impact was felt
by many after 34 years of teaching - many of these at Herman
Collegiate Institute in Windsor. And, he lent comfort to many
through his years of Pastoral Care in jails and hospitals, and
his Elder work in his churches. His careers included selling
subscriptions to Liberty magazine as a young boy, reining in
run-away horses on his 2nd job as milkman, teaching and volunteering
with the Alzheimer Society. Born on October 29, 1930 in London,
Ontario, Jim spent most of his school years there before moving
with his parents to a farm in Merlin, Ontario. Jim enjoyed a
blessed and rich childhood. He will be dearly missed by his sisters
Audrey LUMLEY
(John,) and Marion
WINDELL. He is predeceased by
his parents Laura and Fred
PLANK, his sister Helen
ZANIER and
his brother Fredrick
PLANK.
Jim takes temporary leave from his
wife of 53 years, Mildred
PLANK and his four children - Cynthia
MORRIS, Grant
PLANK (Linda
PLANK), Amy
ROBINSON (Claude
ROBINSON)
and Jennifer
PLANK
(MichaelWATTS.) He is well loved by his grandchildren:
Nicole PLANK, Jennilee
PINO (Brad), Benjamin
ROBINSON, Andrew
MORRIS, Kimberly
PLANK (Eduardo), Patrick
ROBINSON, Nicholas
ROBINSON, Helen
WATTS, Dakota
ROBINSON, Emma
WATTS, Nakita
ROBINSON,
and his Great-Grandchildren: Lucca
CONTE,
AmiliaPINO, Ella
PLANK.
We invite you to share our tears and joys in celebrating the
life of Jim
PLANK through your prayers of thanksgiving for a
life well lived. At the request of James, there will be no funeral
or public memorial service - his spirit lives on when you gather
for prayer, raise your voice in song, or are moved by fine prose.
